How I wish you read this and digest it, once and for all!

 One of the spokespersons of the police in one of the states was reporting a case to some newsmen and hear what he said: "The man was shot on the leg." Is that not what you are likely to say too? CAUTION: Sorry, you don't shoot on the leg, you shoot IN the leg. The expression should have been: "The man was shot IN the leg." Yes, it is "in", not "on". Let me cite more examples: The policeman shot the thief in the head (not "on the head"). Her boyfriend stabbed her in the stomach (not "on the stomach"). He missed his target and shot his brother in the eyes (not "on the eyes"). I need you to digest this, please!
